Papon has been serving as BCB president since 2014 after AHM Mustafa Kamal. And Salahuddin is also in Bafufe for an era. Salahuddin is sitting in the chair of BAUF after winning the 2012, 2016 and last 2020 elections. Bangladesh did not make any significant progress in football during his tenure. So fans are angry with both of them.

Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan, who has been given the responsibility of Youth and Sports Advisor of the Interim Government, said, ‘You should not talk about the leadership person. We have agitated for processes, for systems. Believe in the system, we will reform the system. I will establish a system, whoever comes to the leadership, as an institution I will be able to stand tall in the world in the field of sports.

Women’s T20 World Cup is going to start on October 3. Due to this political change in Bangladesh, the event is under threat or not, the discussion is going on. Even the ICC has started considering UAE, India and Sri Lanka as alternative venues.

But Asif Mahmud spoke of hope, ‘I have started the activity from now on. Hopefully, it (Women’s T20 World Cup) will not go outside Bangladesh. If something like this happens during the formation of the country, it will be very harmful to our image.’
